John Radcliff
Residency: 1893 in Eagle River
John Radcliff never lived in the St. Germain area, but he rates
being included here. He was the only Vilas County sheriff
killed in the line of duty. In the years that followed, no
judge, no sheriff, no member of law enforcement, or person
involved with the courthouse has given this man the slightest
acknowledgement. When the courthouse was redone a few years ago
there was not even a thought of including a memorial for this
man who gave his life in the line of duty.
Date
deceased: July 7, 1911
Cause of death: Gunshot
